every time I need to talk to the lawyer I get excited about it, for this reason, and I flatter myself that the lawyer enjoys it too... feels like we're acting out a scene from Michael Clayton

speaking of "fighting for what," Antioch University professors *do not have tenure* and haven't had it for the last 20 years, so I don't know why they'd feel any kind of loyalty to the brand name

This seems like the only possible outcome! I have been wrong before but I don't see how Otterbein lets Antioch get off the hook with an amicable divorce

明日も明後日も @littlebilham.itch.io · 11h

I don't think that HLC, which is the accreditor for both [CCG dba] Antioch U and Otterbein U, is going to step in any time soon. Both schools had their accreditation reaffirmed in the last 2 years and HLC doesn't usually intervene outside of that schedule

I think that if I were an Antioch University employee right now I would probably find a way to take some paid or unpaid leave in a hurry. Although maybe the smart move would be to stick around, do some version of your job, get fired for doing what you were told to do, sue, and win a settlement

Antioch employees face ‘conflicting directives’ amid legal fight for control

The Coalition for the Common Good’s president has tried to put the university’s leader on leave and told staff to take down a website about the dispute.

We've been watching the first few seasons of Emergency! and it's just such a joy to see Kevin Tighe in a lead role... he's got the permanent snarl of a smart, sadistic bully, and it enhances rather than detracts from his character's ostensible benevolence and integrity

She was one of the people in the scene who had to have paying jobs in the respectable world, and no matter what drugs people were doing at night, she had to be at work the next morning, on time and reasonably sober

I've been listening to Rosie McGee (Florence Nathan)'s audiobook "Dancing With The Dead" and it's a hell of a story, by the time she and Phil get together she's already done more than most people manage in a lifetime. Really reminds me what it's like to deal with musicians' bullshit

God damn the opening of this book is so good. Maria Gostrey clocks Lambert Strether before they even know each other's names, and Strether knows he's been clocked, too

Looks like the movie tie-in edition of a Crichton novel

What are the assets of a university? From a financial point of view, there are primarily three things: 1. Real estate 2. A brand name 3. Accreditation (transferrable regulatory approval)

It's like reading a Henry James novel where he approaches romance and marriage as business deals, which of course they are, and vice versa

Corporate distressed M&A vs. distressed university M&A — Understanding the difference

This is a marvel to read, a serious and thoughtful article treating college mergers and acquisitions as what they are: financial transactions with several complicated overlapping sets of laws and regulations

This is part of 9fin’s special report looking at financial distress and M&A in American higher education.

Audiobook won't work because it's dangerous to go into a Jamesian reverie while driving

Maybe on my phone, I could reread it on my phone

I recently read something that was interesting to me! Hope everyone has a nice weekend

then you'll probably also like Mon Oncle and Vacances

that seems like a lot of Tati. good luck

it's just a great show about two high schoolers who look and act like normal people but absolutely could not pass a Voight-Kampff test

can't say enough good things about this show, but check out the composition of those four shots

I could never be an academic library director... I'm no good at forwarding articles to my direct reports without any commentary or explanation, just an "FYI" in the subject line

I had both of those on my list but it really feels like a good season to catch up on stuff I missed from before 2020 or so

and Saint Augustine's University is the outlier here, as it dragged out a fight with its accreditor for years before admitting a loss in the spring of 2026

Keystone College was absorbed by the Washington Institute for Education and Research in September 2024, and ceased to exist as an independent entity, although WIER continues to operate a school called "Keystone College" -- I have to consider this a merger, but it's not a merger with another school

Pittsburgh Technical College announced its closure in June 2024, after its accreditor put it on show-cause probation

Bacone College filed for bankruptcy in June 2024, lost accreditation that July, and its assets were liquidated the following spring

Some predictions I made in the spring of 2024. I was mostly on target here but I didn't really know what I was doing back then.

Chicago Theological Seminary has submitted a teach-out plan to both of its accreditors (HLC and ATS), which again supports my theory that the school is winding down its operations in an orderly fashion

If it were a normal coalition they could just dissolve the coalition, and go back to being two universities; but instead it's one organization pretending to be two, and since they can't agree, they're dissolving the pretense that Antioch U has its own existence independent of the coalition
